6.10.1.1 Available Protocols
Protocols that are not pre-configured can be specified using the drop down list within the Transport
column within the Subnet Access and Advanced Subnet Access screens. They include:
• ALL - Enables all of the protocol options displayed in the drop-down menu (as described
below).
• TCP - Transmission Control Protocol is a set of rules for sending data as message units over
the Internet. TCP manages individual data packets. Messages are divided into packets for
efficient routing through the Internet.
• UDP - User Datagram Protocol is used for broadcasting data over the Internet. Like TCP, UDP
runs on top of Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides few error
recovery services. UDP offers a way to directly connect, and then send and receive
datagrams over an IP network.
• ICMP - Internet Control Message Protocol is tightly integrated with IP. ICMP messages are
used for out-of-band messages related to network operation. ICMP packet delivery is
unreliable. Hosts cannot count on receiving ICMP packets for a network problem.
• AH - Authentication Header is one of the two key components of IP Security Protocol (IPsec).
